Johnny Depp will be a good supporting actor.

Unlike the TV version, in this movie Tonto will be the lead character.

I expect it to be an interesting and action packed western movie that most will enjoy.

Honestly, if I had to go back and and choose just one of these two movies to see (S/TLR), I'd choose The Lone Ranger. I couldn't wait for Superman to be over.Way over done on effects.

not wanting to spoil it for anyone not yet seeing this movie, but I do have to agree. Good thing is that if one gets tired one can always close one's eyes and nap!!

I actually enjoyed "Man of Steel" enough to see it twice, and that is something I rarely do.  There were certain sections of the battle at the end that dragged on a little -- OK, maybe more than a little -- but that is not enough for me to pan the film.  I enjoyed it primarily because it delved deeper into the symbolism and deeper meaning of the character of Clark Kent/Kal-El and his hero's journey in becoming Superman, and the contrasting themes and philosophies between Earth and Krypton.  Personally, I think that "Man of Steel" is the best Superman film, and the best live-action version of the character that has been made to date.

 

Oh, and there are some trains in it, too.

I thought "Man of Steel" was good!  I've heard mixed reviews about Lone Ranger.  The boss and I are going on a movie date tomorrow to see Lone Ranger...we'll know then.  Some movies are more fun to see at the theaters.  We like going to the movies.  I'm not gonna wait for every movie to come out on Netflix or DVD.  Matt

Saw the movie this afternoon and my buddy was right- it sucks. It has some funny moments but I am very disappointed. Being a big Lone Ranger fan I was hoping for better but I guess Hollywood just can't make a decent Lone Ranger movie. They have had 3 chances and dropped the ball all three times. A waste of money IMO.

As it is with everything else:  Choice in film fare is a matter of different strokes for different folks.

I'd give the new Superman film a 6 out of 10 - great actors, excellent soundtrack, decent storytelling, but full of over-the-top destruction, melodrama and cliche's. Still one of the better movies this Summer.

 

And all my friends and I very much enjoyed Skyfall

It was that whole "Jack Sparrow as Tonto" thing wasn't it?  Johnny Depp, worlds most overated actor. Who can forget the other classic that he ruined.

My son and I saw Man Of Steel on real film in a tiny independent Adirondack movie theater that had hopes converting to digital projection before the end of film reel distribution this year. I hope they make it. He wants to see the Lone Ranger this weekend so we will go.
We both liked superman. He and Zod's minion threw around a UP SD45 and Dances with Wolves got blown away by a twister. It was much better than the last Superman attamp but did not have as much heart and humor as the 70's film.

No table manners at all, and raw uncooked meat is dangerous. 

Just got back from seeing it. B+ overall. Good mindless summer nostalgic fun. Depp is great the whole cast is good.

No spoilers here but there is model railroading, 3 rail track on the real RR that looks exactly like O track, William Tell Overture. More train action than even I thought....some Hollywood liberties b ut all in good fun.

All the issues posted here are explained and some have a great background story.

 

A Lone Ranger O scale train set would have been so cool!! There are big Ore cars, jail house rail cars and cool passenger cars. I may have to make my own!

 

Well worth the $14 me and the wife spent. THX

I'm sure to be disapointed as we usually are with  new films.  It is very seldon we (wife and me) see anything that we really like.   A good solid western would do it, but the last time that happened was Silverado.   I'll give a passing grade to "True Grit", but John Wayne was better, of course.

 

I think we are going to see "Now You See It Now You Don't" tomorrow.   

 

We did agree on a really great movie we watched Tues nite, "Treasure Of Sierra Madre".  They don't make 'em like that any more!!

Well, thats good, but still, I heard that you see him holding the heart and cutting him open, I heard part of the scene is a silhouette, but no body parts are actually seen in gruesome, gory detail?

Indiana Jones II is MUCH more gruesome than Ranger......I did not realize what was going on until after the movie and my wife brought it up......visions of trains must have blinded me!!!

I was hoping for better. 

well that's twice you said nothing. Perhaps try letting us know what disappointed you

Lets see what did I like or not like, the script was not very good, the acting was just ok, and the pace of the film was slow. The train scenes were not bad but it is not a reason to see it. 

 

I wanted this movie to be the best lone ranger ever but it was not and that is very disappointing.

I agree Don. I saw that film a few years ago, and found it quite riveting. A wonderful human story, excellent acting, and great cinematography too.
